Energy Crisis

[d000hg]

Under Ofgem rules someone will be forced to take them on.

Indeed. You are not going to find yourself cut off for winter due to a failing supplier.

Quite possibly no-one as I suspect the last thing any existing provider wants in another set of customers that they will lose money on and are likely to leave if a better offer arrives in a few months time.

Pure Planet was our one - no idea who we'll be lumped with now.

Also a pure planeter

Pure Planet was our one - no idea who we'll be lumped with now. Looks like we could be paying £3k+ a year for energy at this rate..

What do all these little energy companies actually do, anyway? What value do they provide? Many of them are tiny and seem to consist of little more than some sort of customer management system and a couple of guys speculating on energy futures, hoping to make a markup on retail energy prices. Almost none of them actually produce the gas or electric, or have any role in the distribution network. Just seems to me like a pointless interjection of proft seeking grifters, who's business plan is so bad that they go bust the first time market goes againt them (or, more likely, just take the profts and run - until the next time).

It is exactly this, just as Maggie intended.

Daligas is ceasing to trade

From the 14th of October 2021, due to the unprecedented energy market conditions, the record high wholesale prices and the current energy cap set by the industry regulator Ofgem, we are unable to keep our team and business operating.
From all of us, please accept our deepest thanks for your support throughout all these years.

Bit annoying they are still taking the standing order payments....

Yeah, they took my payment a couple of days after they announced they'd gone bust. Apparently, we're all meant to keep the DD/SO in place and the funds will transfer to the new company (EDF in my case). Let's see how that goes...

[Lost It]

Renationalise them all! It's the only way.

Bring back coal fired power stations it's the only way! I hear Australia has a lot of spare coal at the moment?
